For the photographer who knows the depth and joy of photographic expression, the GX200 transcends the limitations of a compact camera.

Sharp images all the way to the picture’s edge with natural gradations and coloration even in high-sensitivity shooting situations: that is the power of the Smooth Imaging Engine III image processor. With thorough noise reduction measures in both its circuit design and algorithms, the GX200 effectively eliminates noise without sacrificing resolution or saturation.

A 1/1.7″ CCD with 12 megapixels faithfully reproduces the world as seen. The result is superb images high in resolution and low in noise, with rich gradation expression from highlight to shadow.

The macro function brings the camera to the subject, with a minimum distance of 1 cm in wide angle and 4 cm in telephoto. Not just point and shoot those flowers and insects large, the GX200 offers a wide range of creative intentions, such as emphasizing perspective using wide-macro and making the theme conspicuous by blurring the background using tele-macro.

The new high-resolution LCD display vividly presents image detail. The wide field of view (160 degrees both vertically and horizontally) gives the feel of “free angle” shooting, and the high contrast gives great visibility even outdoors.
